Description

Losing your phone or tablet is always a hassle — until now. Introducing Blare, the Voice Recognition app that lets you find your lost phone in no time!

Lost your phone in the living room, sandwiched deep within the abyss of the couch cushions again? Simply say your keyword, and your lost device will start to blare, helping you find your phone in seconds!

HOW IT WORKS:Blare is constantly listening for your voice recognition keyword. Once you say your personal keyword (even if the device is locked), your device will blare! The phone plays a loud alarm sound, vibrates loudly, and flashes a bright light. Never waste time digging around for your phone again — just ask Blare to do the job for you.

Blare is useful in a plethora of scenarios:• Finding your lost phone or device• Getting attention in an emergency without having to reach for your phone• As an SOS signal — that loud siren and flashing bright light is bound to get help in no time!• Etc.

The best part? Even though Blare is constantly running in the background, it is memory efficient and doesn’t take up a significant amount of battery, so you can focus on taking that next selfie or catching ‘em all instead of worrying about your device’s performance.

***Blare’s premium version is currently 80% OFF as a LIMITED TIME GRAND OPENING OFFER at JUST 0.99 cents, which unlocks PREMIUM features and removes ANNOYING ads. This is a TEMPORARY offer, so nab it while you can!***

As others have commented, this app means my phone can't use voice recognition for other apps. If only I knew when I was going to misplace my phone, THEN I could turn on Blare! 😉 Also true comments from others about battery drain. Good idea, but implementation isn't good enough for use. Uninstalling.

Great Idea. Unfortunately it drains the battery big time. I guess if you can keep your phone plugged in all the time then no problem. If the battery is dead the likelihood of this app finding your phone is zero. And if it's mostly charging what's the likelihood of losing it? So I have my grocery list on my phone but it dies on the way to the grocery store! App would be better named duh. And now I am uninstalling it. I also agree with the other deficits that others have mentioned so am not going to repeat them.

This app is amazing Why with all the hate this app is awesome its really accurate and so helpful for people like me

Horrible! After you set your keyword it goes off at any given moment and doesnt have any voice recignition so anything or anyone could say your keyword (NOT KEYPHRASE CAUSE IT GOES OFF AT THE MERE MENTION OF ANY OF THE WORDS IN THE KEYPHRASE) and set it off, tv, radio, another person, will be uninstalling and not buying it, maybe IF they fixed this issue then I'd consider it again, for now it's useless or more gimmicky.

Why I want to say

Hey Nancy,
Rating has nothing to do with stopping the alarm. In order to stop the Blare (alarm) when you say your keyword, you just have to press the button that appears on the flashing screen that says "Press to stop Alarm!"
Let me know if this helped or if you still need help:

Hey Bill,
What do you mean "Alarming until rated?" In order to stop the Blare (alarm) when you say your keyword, you just have to press the big button that appears on the flashing screen that says "Press to stop Alarm!" It has nothing to do with rating?
Let me know if this helped:

Disappointed Update 10-15-2016, blare siren works now, but it still won't allow use of the microphone by other apps. E.g. if blare is set to ON other apps, like dictation, don't work. Not OK!! Blare needs to play well with others. Still single star. Fix this and will increase rating. Original review: Flash works, vibrate and blare do not. Paid for it too, frustrating. Galaxy Note 5.

Doesn't work Update 10/16/16: For some reason working now. However, it blocks voice recognition in other apps, like texting, so have to "force stop" this app in settings to use VR in other apps. Ridiculous! 10/15/16: Samsung Galaxy S5, installed app update too, but can only get it to work if app is open in background. I paid for the app...disappointed...want money back but will probably never see that.

Just what I needed. Works just fine. To stop the blare, click on "I found my phone". I didn't realize that at first and turned my phone off to stop it. Changed to 3 stars. It doesn't seem to work from another room.

Ads over setup?? On HTC- it's works though Changing to a 3. Can't even get to the setup options past the keyword, as an AD that won't go away is right at bottom. I even turned on autorotate, and still didn't change

Won't run on Samsung S4 The app won't work. 4 words and 5 syllables. ..turned on voice option. Yell my words and nothing happens. Also, I can no longer use voice to text for messages, etc. Uninstalling.

Fixed with version 1.0.7, update Blare and the problem should be fixed.

I installed the app and paid for the upgrade...however I can not get the app to accept the key words, the mic will not stay on...and go to the next step...which I assume is the activation step....help. Using an Android from Verizon... a Spectrum.

Hey Tom,
I'm not sure on what problem you are having. Please email me at ruchirbaronia@gmail.com so that I can help you fix it!

Switching off with free version. I have a Moto G3. When it is activated press the I have found my phone button on the screen. I have the free version with adds. The problem I have is that every time it is activated an add is initiated. If that add is still showing on the phone the app does not work until it is removed. I do not know if it works if you buy the two options available.

Hey Irvine,
Thanks for your feedback! You can just get rid of the ad easily by clicking the back button on your phone when it shows, or the little x in the top left corner of it. Don't worry, the app works perfectly even if you don't buy the premium option.

Great for when my phone gets stuck between the couch cushions A person like me constantly loses my phone. I keep this app running in the background, and whenever I say my keyword, the device Blares perfectly. It's way more accurate than I expected! 5 stars!

It works. But on my Homtom HT17pro I can not see all the settings screen, or scroll down past the words "Enable Powerful". So I can not turn the option below it on. I've paid for the app so disappointed I can't use the option paid for. If you can fix this bug (I notice other users on other phones have the same problem) then it could be a 5 star rating.

Didn't work I bought this app and after it was installed on my Galaxy S6 and the app opened I couldn't scroll down and activate it. I went through the tutorial first to make sure I was doing everything correctly. Total waste of my time and money. Why does this not work Ruchir??????

Hey Dave,
I'm sorry to hear that! On the S6 (which Blare has been highly tested on), you shouldn't need to scroll down to activate it. To activate Blare, turn on the first switch (on the main blue screen) titled "Turn on voice Recognition." If there is still a problem, please email me so that we can fix it (ruchirbaronia@gmail.com)

This is the most amazing application that I have ever seen in my whole life, now I can find my device from anywhere in my house, thanks ruchir and I suggest everyone to download this application. Once again I thanks developer

UPDATE: Although this app did not work on my phone, the producer was very helpful and eventually refunded my money. He is currently working to to get the app to work on my type of phone. PAST REVIEW: I have two issues. The most crucial is that right after installing this app I am now having problems making phone calls. My phone keeps telling me that "telephony has stopped_" (I have Republic Wireless service) I have a message into Republic Wireless for help. If it cannot be rectified without uninstalling Blare then I want a refund. - I know it is only 99 cents but still, if it is not compatible with some services, then we should be forewarned. The other issue I have is that the phone will activate with the key phrase, but only if I am within a few feet of it (like less than 5 feet) and yes, I am speaking quite loudly. If I am that close to my phone, chances are that I will be able to find it without the phone making any noise!

Hello Nanette,
Blare does not interfere with phone calls, so that problem is not caused by Blare. Also, the distance depends on your device's microphone. Cheap device/microphone = less distance (still great for getting stuck in couch), and vice versa. Most users say it works from 30 ft.

Did not work Not working on my Samsung S6 . . . Correction after 3 hours it suddenly set the phone off although I had said nothing because I was busy parking the car with the phone in my pocket . . .

Hey Don,
The problem is that your voice keyword is too short. Your keyword should be at least 5 syllables and 3 words, like "oranges and rainbows". I.e. the keyword "hi" is terrible, because it has 1 syllable, 1 word, and is common in conversation. Try changing your keyword and let me know! Also, update Blare. (ruchirbaronia@gmail.com)
